26. ENFIELD AND HILLS. Monday, February 11.
Mandamus.
In action upon the case against the defendant for procuring a false return to
mandamus on removal of an alderman ; after verdict, and 3001. damages, Maynard the
King's Sarjeant excepted against Doderiges opinion in Harris's case, that an action
upon the case will nOC lie, for an alderman having no fee nor profits, 27 H. 8, 28, and
in action upon the case there must not only be a tort but a damage thereon,
8 Co. 49, especially this being a new office, so 3 Cr. 859, Hardy and Newland, and the
chief reason of the case Barnardisto, and Soam in Excheque Chamber was that no
action upon the case lay on such false return at common-law, being a matter of
government, and upon this publick account a mandamus is awarded, though this may
also concern private person ; and there is more consideration to be had of a burges
of Parliament than of an alderman. 10 H. 4, 47. Wild Justice, This Court must
take the return as true, until it be disproved by action upon the case; to which the
Court inclined. Sed adjornatur.
